KK Chat - Feb. 2, 2003, pt.2

[17:36] <Andi55> I'm working on getting the rest
[17:36] <@Shiral> Hello Olympia, Huggles!
[17:36] <the_Bee> Hi Nancy
[17:36] <@KK> Though that's subject to change.  Can't remember the tentative name for #3 right now.
[17:36] <bynw> Cool. If you have any questions about them you can go straight to the source today. Just ask KK (Katherine Kurtz) :-)
[17:36] <jm> Hi Nancy
[17:36] <bynw> HIyas Olympia :-)
[17:36] <RainTurtle> hi, Olympia
[17:36] <Martine> John's a tad sore, but nothing like me. They took it easy on him because it was his first time in the saddle.
[17:36] <Andi55> :)
[17:36] * Barticus sighs
[17:36] <kirienne> hi olympia
[17:36] <@Wrengl> which ones do you need andi55?
[17:36] <@KK> Nanners!
[17:36] <Sparkles> KK - I'm rereading  everything, but can't seem to find what happened to Warin - did I miss it?
[17:36] <Martine> I think I was in a sitting trot for a combined total of 10 minutes, though <wince>
[17:36] <@Wrengl> I have several hardbacks I am thinking of selling
[17:36] <@KK> Martine, you and John both went riding?  Good for you!
[17:36] <@Shiral> OUCH!!
[17:36] <Olympia> Greetings my dear Baroness!!!
[17:36] <Martine> Hi nancy!
[17:36] <the_Bee> he sort of faded out of the picture, iirc
[17:36] <jm> Warin ran off
[17:36] <VirtualBabe> No sparkles, warin dissapeared after HD
[17:37] <hygilac> You didn't miss it, Sparkles
[17:37] <@Shiral> Joszef sends his greetings to Stefan
[17:37] <Martine> Yup! I'll be riding twice a week, and he'll be going once a week. At least until August!
[17:37] <Andi55> The first in the Camber trilogy, the first and third in the King Kelson trilogy, and anything else that's out there I haven't mentioned
[17:37] <Andi55> :)
[17:37] * Ghostgames Quit (QUIT: Snak 4.9 Unregistered copy. Evaluation period is over. Program
will now quit. Thanks for using Snak.)
[17:37] <@KK> Sparkles, he just sort of disappears, of his own free will.  We don't know what he's up to.
[17:37] <Olympia> Not riding. Not riding. Grooming yes. Not getting on a horse.
[17:37] <@Shiral> WB, Ann
[17:37] <Martine> LOL!
[17:37] <Martine> you can groom and tack our mounts, Nancy! ;-)
[17:37] <Olympia> It's a deal!
[17:37] <Andi55> I buy mostly second-hand, as I'm on a rather tight budget these days :p
[17:37] <TranshaLass> I hate to leave, everyone, but my mom needs help with dinner preparations
[17:37] <@KK> Wow, you're determined.  Come spring, I need to see if I'm still up to it.
[17:37] <Olympia> Tack? you mean put the armor, I mean saddle stuff on? nuh-uh
[17:37] <@Shiral> Olympia the Groom
[17:38] <Mistyck> Hi Nancy
[17:38] <@Wrengl> email me at wre...@AOL.com and I will tell you which ones I have.  $1 each plus postage.
[17:38] <Martine> Although I could introduce you to Tanner, whom I rode yesterday. It's impossible to fall off him - even his shying is smooth!
[17:38] <RainTurtle> be well, Transha
[17:38] <jm> gotta run folks, dinner calls.  You all have a good week.
[17:38] <Mistyck> nite Transha
[17:38] * jm Quit (QUIT: Leaving)
[17:38] * Ghostgames has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:38] <TranshaLass> Take care, everyone, see you later  :)
[17:38] <the_Bee> have a good meal, TL
[17:38] <bynw> wb ann
[17:38] <Martine> BTW, Ann said she'll.... never mind, there she is!
[17:38] <Sparkles> Bye TL
[17:38] <Harvey> I can fall off of any horse!
[17:38] <@Wrengl> cya transha
[17:38] <Olympia> Bye everyone who is leaving.
[17:38] <kirienne> bye transhalass, see ya later
[17:38] <Mistyck> wb Ann
[17:38] <RainTurtle> wb
[17:38] * TranshaLass Quit (QUIT: Leaving)
[17:38] <Andi55> bye
[17:38] <@Shiral> WB, Ann, bye TL
[17:38] <Andi55> hi
[17:38] <bynw> Ann, find that registration code :-)
[17:38] <@Wrengl> ha
[17:38] <@Wrengl> i could fall off him Martine
[17:38] <@KK> I'm going to wait until the weather gets better, before I start trying to leg-up again.
[17:39] * VirtualBabe has tried riding a horsie once.
[17:39] <@Wrengl> just give me the chance
[17:39] <Martine> LOL!
[17:39] <@Shiral> Smart move, KK
[17:39] <Olympia> ::muttering... with MY luck the man of my dreams will ride up to Holybrooke and then I'll have to pretend to ride and it will be just awful.
[17:39] * Andi55 would love to learn horseback riding
[17:39] <Martine> Katherine, plan to be a WEE bit painful the next day ;-)
[17:39] <Martine> I'm moving around like my grandfather! <laugh>
[17:39] <@KK> Oh, I do expect it.
[17:39] <Laura> indeed
[17:39] * bynw hasnt been on a horse in years
[17:39] <Sparkles> We had lovely weather today almost 70 degrees, but it's just a tease
[17:39] <@KK> It's been about 18 years....
[17:39] <Ghostgames> Can't find the registration code, but I'm back on my old laptop with its registered version of Snak, so I shouldn't have to quit again tonight. :-)
[17:39] <RainTurtle> *was a stablehand, tending a morgan, back in high school*
[17:39] <Martine> It's been almost 10 for me.
[17:39] <hygilac> yeah, here too, Sparkles
[17:39] * Olympia has not been on a horse since that Awful Accident while riding in Sacramento with the Baroness.
[17:40] <Martine> And my body is telling me in rather plain language that I'm not 20 years old anymore!
[17:40] <@KK> I'm afraid mine will tell me even ruder things....
[17:40] <@Wrengl> i've only ridden a few times thirty years ago the last time.
[17:40] <Martine> ROTFL!!!!
[17:40] <@Wrengl> first time i landed on my head
[17:40] <Martine> Ouch!
[17:40] <Sparkles> OUCH
[17:40] <VirtualBabe> Ouch
[17:40] <Andi55> oooo
[17:40] <the_Bee> RT: you tended MORGAN?
[17:40] * Kelos_al-Hazar hasn't ridden since 1988...
[17:40] <kirienne> verra ouch
[17:40] <hygilac> that is one reason I gave up riding very early on
[17:40] * Andi55 can't picture him with a saddle....
[17:40] <RainTurtle> Bee: a morgan...ie, a horse
[17:40] <@Shiral> I haven't ridden in....at least 20 years
[17:41] <hygilac> more like 30 here
[17:41] <the_Bee> I know.  Justin Morgan and all that
[17:41] <@Shiral> hate to think what my body would tell me now
[17:41] <RainTurtle> :)
[17:41] <Martine> Worst fall I ever had was flat on my back. And then the horse decided to stand RIGHT over me.
[17:41] <Sparkles> Since I had my hip replaced last year, I think my riding days are over
[17:41] <@KK> Morgans are marvelous horses.  Scott used to have one.
[17:41] <Martine> I just remember wishing "Please don't have a full bladder... please don't have a full bladder...."
[17:41] <hygilac> after fighting a cat to day, I think I will not fight a horse
[17:41] <Sparkles> Martine - too funny
[17:41] <@Shiral> Very nice horses, good dispositions
[17:41] <@Wrengl> lol martine
[17:41] <Andi55> LOL
[17:41] <@KK> Who, you or the horse?  ;-)
[17:41] <Olympia> The one who let me slide off looked around and said something really rude in German (it was a "retired" German jumper)
[17:41] <Martine> The horse!
[17:42] <Martine> Considering it was a stallion... ;-)
[17:42] <@Wrengl> lol martine
[17:42] <@KK> Why ever would that bother you?  he does all the work....
[17:42] <@Shiral> Must have been "Herr Ed" Olympia
[17:42] <@Wrengl> i take it he did not
[17:42] <kirienne> rotfl maartine
[17:42] <@Shiral> LOL, KK
[17:42] <Olympia> I don't know but he was definitely being scornful
[17:42] <VirtualBabe> Matine, sounds like that line in Robin Hood, Men In Tights
[17:42] <Martine> Well, once I fell off, and he was standing OVER me to protect me, a full horse bladder could be... um.... wet?
[17:42] <@Wrengl> indeed
[17:43] <@KK> Oh, well if you're thinking to fall off...
[17:43] <@Wrengl> verra messy
[17:43] <@Shiral> "Something along the lines of  "What are you doing down there?" Olympia?
[17:43] <Martine> Considering I was laying flat on my back at the time! ;-)
[17:43] <@KK> I don't think horses particularly like to pee on people.
[17:43] <Ghostgames> I haven't ridden in 3 weeks, but it /feels/ like 20 years....
[17:43] <Olympia> Nope more like, dank gott, she's off my back
[17:43] <@Shiral> Luckily for Martine
[17:43] <Laura> the first time I rode horses with a friend, she did not have a saddle for me so I had to ride bareback
[17:43] <Sparkles> Horses can look at you like you are the stupidist thing on earth
[17:43] <Martine> I was eight years old at the time. I didn't know WHAT the horse was going to do <g>
[17:43] <@Shiral> Just that it looked BIG
[17:43] * Trillian has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:43] <Laura> and the horse walked into the middle of the stream and stopped for a drink
[17:43] <RainTurtle> hi
[17:43] <@KK> Ah, that was then.  I didn't think you'd fallen off yesterday.
[17:43] <@Wrengl> howdy trillian
[17:44] <Sparkles> hi there
[17:44] <Martine> hi Trillian!
[17:44] <hygilac> "Hi trillian
[17:44] <kirienne> hi trillian
[17:44] <Andi55> Hi
[17:44] <the_Bee> hello trillian
[17:44] <@Shiral> Hi Trillian
[17:44] <Martine> not really, Shiral. I'd been on this horse since I was two.
[17:44] <Olympia> My problem was that SOMEONE ::looking at KK:: thought I could use a teeeeny tiny eeensy beansy English saddle.
[17:44] <Barticus> howdy trillian
[17:44] <Martine> He belonged to my uncle :-)
[17:44] * B_Raven wants to learn to ride, preferably bareback.
[17:44] <Trillian> hiho gang
[17:44] * VirtualBabe giggles
[17:44] <@KK> Well, that's what they had, Olympia.
[17:44] <Mistyck> Hi Trillian
[17:44] <@Shiral> Well, yes, but when you're UNDER the horse at age 8, I'd think the animal might look a little large
[17:44] <Olympia> Yeah well let's just say for those of you who have not met me, I NEED a BIG western saddle!
[17:44] <@KK> No you don't, Raven.  Not to start, anyway.
[17:44] <@Wrengl> there is more to grab with a western saddle, Olympia!
[17:45] <Olympia> preferable with that big Medieval Spanish bumroll on the back end
[17:45] <RainTurtle> (for the record, "B_Raven_ is not Nascakiyetl  :D  )
[17:45] <Andy_Hock> lol
[17:45] <Harvey> I need one of those big ones with a large cradle on either end of the sadde.
[17:45] <@RainbowDragon> Hi, Trillian
[17:45] <Harvey> (and maybe training wheels)
[17:45] <@KK> LOL, Turtle!  I didn't think so.
[17:45] <Mistyck> Olympia:  you do NOT need a big saddle, and I've met you!
[17:45] <Martine> Raven, trust me. Bareback can be rather... um... painful. The horse's spine is a bit bony!
[17:45] <Martine> She does to stay IN the saddle, Mistyck ;-)
[17:45] <hygilac> I will stick to the merry go round horses
[17:45] <Olympia> heh thanks Rita but there's this whole weird physics
thing that happens when one sits down...
[17:45] <B_Raven> ouch, well, I'll take that into consideration :)
[17:45] <Olympia> Me too Linda!
[17:46] <@KK> You guys would like an Australian stock saddle.  That's what I'd ride, if I ever got a horse again.
[17:46] <Harvey> I like riding elephants better.  More room to stay on.
[17:46] <Olympia> You've ridden a heffalump, Harvey???????????????
[17:46] <Olympia> wow!
[17:46] <@KK> It's like a Western saddle without the roping horn, and with more English stirrups.
[17:46] <Ghostgames> Longer to fall, though. :-)
[17:46] <Harvey> Sure.
[17:46] <Martine> My grandfather's old western saddle was rather big and protective, too. :-)
[17:46] <Harvey> It's fun.
[17:46] <Olympia> Horn. Must have horn. and BIG stirrups with anti-lock brakes
[17:46] <Martine> He used to ride in parade formation, so he wanted something to keep him aloft!
[17:46] <@Shiral> Seatbelt?
[17:46] <Harvey> Of course, there were six other people on it, so I wasn't driving.
[17:46] <Andi55> hehe
[17:46] <Ghostgames> I prefer elephant riding to camel riding, myself.... :-)
[17:47] <RainTurtle> I've only ridden Western style, so I can't really compare much
[17:47] <@Wrengl> I am trying to get duck to get me a picture of an Australian Stock Saddle
[17:47] <Martine> LOL! Olympia! My grandfather's old saddle is just for you, then!
[17:47] <Olympia> yuck yuck yuck..
[17:47] <Harvey> Camel was a little more jerky.
[17:47] <@KK> Scott has ridden a hefalump.
[17:47] <Sparkles> Camels just smell BAD
[17:47] <Harvey> Stink.
[17:47] <@Wrengl> from the description it is what I want if I ride again
[17:47] <Olympia> Somehow I can see Scott on a heffalump... pith helmet and all
[17:47] <Olympia> Very stinky
[17:47] <hygilac> camels also spit
[17:47] <Martine> ROTFL, Nancy!
[17:47] <VirtualBabe> so I've heard linda
[17:47] <Sparkles> Best viewed from a distance
[17:47] <@KK> And better than an American cavalry saddle, which is <very> uncomfortable, though it's said to be more comfortable for the horse.
[17:48] <@Wrengl> i can picture scott that way also, nancy
[17:48] <@Shiral> I could see Scott on a Camel
[17:48] <@Wrengl> gmta shiral
[17:48] <@KK> When he was a kid, his father had something to with the circus.  So Scott learned about hefalumps, and lions and tigers (but not bears), Oh, my.
[17:48] * Barticus sort forgot your e-=mail
[17:48] <@Shiral> OR rather an Elephant
[17:48] <Martine> Ouch! Yes! Those things are wood with nearly no padding!
[17:48] <hygilac> forging trhough the jungles on safari
[17:48] <the_Bee> I rode a heffalump when I was a little girl
[17:48] <Martine> Me too!
[17:48] <Olympia> Pat - http://www.aussiesaddle.com/sad_index.html
[17:48] <bynw> ROFLMAO
[17:48] <Martine> At the San Diego zoo :-)
[17:49] <@Shiral> I did at marine world
[17:49] <@Shiral> I didn't find it all that exciting
[17:49] <the_Bee> at Benson's Wild Animal Farm
[17:49] <@Wrengl> thanks nancy
[17:49] * Trillian has left #Deryni_Destinations
[17:49] <Andi55> riding anything probably isn't as exciting when it's being led around in circles...
[17:49] <VirtualBabe> I understand that elephants can be a bit fragrant too
[17:49] <@Wrengl> been going nuts about that.   
[17:49] <@RainbowDragon> Where are you all coming up with the term, heffalump?
[17:49] <@Wrengl> Tris saddles are similar
[17:49] <@KK> I understand that they have very thick, bristly hair on their neck/back, and these must be singed off with a blowtorch.  I dunnon, folks.
[17:49] <the_Bee> Winnie the Pooh
[17:50] <@Shiral> Nope, I'd probably have found the jungle more interesting
[17:50] <Martine> Heffalumps and woozles!
[17:50] <@RainbowDragon> ooooh
[17:50] <@Shiral> Ah, but if you're in a howdah, and elephant shouldn't be that difficult
[17:50] <Harvey> The hair is very stiff and bristly.  It feels funny to touch it.
[17:50] <the_Bee> and wheezles and sneezles
[17:50] <Martine> Ack. I need to go, guys. Plumber dad needs more assistance!
[17:50] <@Shiral> Any elephants in the Deryni Universe do you think, Katherine?
[17:50] <@KK> I've always thought Woozles must be something like badgers.
[17:50] <the_Bee> good luck martine
[17:50] <Sparkles> Good luck Martine
[17:50] <@Shiral> Bye Martine, Huggles
[17:50] <kirienne> k, bye martine
[17:50] <Andi55> bye
[17:50] <bynw> cya Martine
[17:51] <kirienne> huggles
[17:51] <@KK> Night, Martine.
[17:51] <hygilac> Bye martine!  Huggles
[17:51] <the_Bee> weasels?
[17:51] <Harvey> Bye Martine
[17:51] <Barticus> bye martine
[17:51] <Martine> Huggles!
[17:51] <Olympia> Woozles are weasle ferret nasty rodential things
[17:51] <Martine> Happy writing, KK! WWW! WWW! WWW!
[17:51] <Mistyck> nite Martine
[17:51] <Olympia> Bye Martine
[17:51] <bynw> hmmm we need 5 more chatters to break the chat record
[17:51] <Temprus> bye
[17:51] <Martine> Because I have questions for you to answer when you're through writing! ;-)
[17:51] <@Shiral> Took the words right out of my mouth, Martine
[17:51] <Andi55> ?WWW
[17:51] <@KK> I've never seen any there.  Doesn't mean one couldn't show up someday, but I'd have to do some stretching of the boundaries.  So short answer is, probably no heffalumps.
[17:51] <@Wrengl> bye martine
[17:51] <@Shiral> Ditto, KK
[17:51] <Olympia> heh! I love WWW
[17:52] <Martine> Write Woman Write, Andi
[17:52] <Olympia> Katherine, did Ann ask you about the Via Romana yet?
[17:52] <Martine> Bye!
[17:52] <Andi55> ah :)  I agree, WWW!
[17:52] <Andi55> :)
[17:52] <@KK> Nope.
[17:52] * Martine Quit (QUIT: Oh Kelson! Time for my back rub!)
[17:52] <the_Bee> maybe heffalumps south or east of known regions
[17:52] * hygilac listens crefully for info on the via Romana
[17:52] <@KK> South and east, if they exist.
[17:53] <Sparkles> Maybe the Knights of the Anvil can ride camels
[17:53] <Olympia> Ok it came up in the write-up on Desse (the BRILLIANT write-up) and I named the old Roman road the Via Romana but would there be that kind of direct acknowledgment in the Eleven Kingdoms?
[17:53] <@KK> I'm sure there are camels, even though we've not seen them.
[17:53] * Mistyck thinks KK *could* have a version of India in the Deryni World
[17:53] * VirtualBabe could see Azim on a camel
[17:53] <the_Bee> "Absense of evidence is not evidence of absence"
[17:53] <hygilac> oh, I'm sure they have camels in R'Kassa, don't they they?
[17:53] <@Shiral> Well, it's not all that important. Was just curious  =o)
[17:53] <Harvey> What about llamas?
[17:53] <@Shiral> Probably
[17:53] <Olympia> No llamas. they spit
[17:53] <Harvey> Monkeys!
[17:53] <Harvey> (They throw feces.)
[17:53] <@Shiral> Bedouins literally cannot survive without camels
[17:53] <@KK> Well, I've mentioned the Pax Romana, so a Via Romana is viable.
[17:54] * the_Bee thinks llamas are south American
[17:54] <Olympia> By the way - the BRILLIANCE was Linda's not mine!
[17:54] <bynw> flying monkeys?
[17:54] <kirienne> a friend at work raises lamas, and she says they spit verra much
[17:54] <Olympia> Kirienne does she live in Vista, CA?
[17:54] * @KK could also see Azim on a camel.
[17:54] <Andi55> I didn't think Oz was part of the setting, bynw ;)
[17:54] <the_Bee> tibetan monks spit??
[17:54] <VirtualBabe> Kirienne, your friend raises tibetan monks?
[17:54] <Olympia> Ok, Ann & Linda - Via Romana it is :)
[17:54] <Olympia> NO, Tibetan Monks so NOT spit
[17:54] <Olympia> Llamas spit
[17:54] <@KK> No lamas.
[17:54] <hygilac> good; it goes all the way to Nyford, if that works for you guys
[17:54] <@Shiral> Hopefully not, Olympia!
[17:54] <the_Bee> or llamas
[17:55] <@KK> Or llamas, either.
[17:55] <kirienne> no, I think she lives fairly close to the Sacramento area
[17:55] <Sparkles> I like Azim and would love to see more of him. Hint, hint
[17:55] <@Shiral> Regarding the Tibetan monks, I mean
[17:55] <Olympia> I want a Tibetan spaniel but they cost a FORTUNE
[17:55] <RainTurtle> yes, Azim is cool....slightly scary, though
[17:55] <@KK> We're going to be seeing more of the Knights of the Anvil.
[17:55] <@Shiral> Ooooo!
[17:55] <@Shiral> Good
[17:55] <Mistyck> ooh, Cool!
[17:55] <bynw> cools
[17:55] <Sparkles> Hoorah
[17:55] <hygilac> yay!
[17:55] <Olympia> However, the Evil Lady Ann sent me a link... for rescuing them.
[17:55] <Harvey> Wile E. Coyote - a Knight of the Anvil?
[17:55] <RainTurtle> :)
[17:55] <@KK> The Knights are also slightly scary.
[17:55] * Andi55 _neeeds_ to catch up to the end of the current books....
[17:55] <Sparkles> Scary is good.  Deryni have needed to be scary
[17:56] <@Shiral> But verra interesting
[17:56] <Olympia> Non-Deryni find them plenty scarey enough!
[17:56] <hygilac> yup
[17:56] <Sparkles> Yes, but the Deryni are the ones being exterminated
[17:56] <@KK> I've discovered that there are other powerful Deryni working behind the scenes, that the CC does not know about, and who have their own agenda.
[17:56] <RainTurtle> cool  >=D
[17:56] <bynw> hehehehehe
[17:56] <@Shiral> ooo cool, KK ,<G>
[17:56] <Mistyck> ooh, neato, KK
[17:56] <Andi55> oooh...
[17:56] <Sparkles> Really?
[17:57] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Anyone in black silk robes (as Azim prefers) would be menacing-looking to the non-initiated.
[17:57] <Barticus> the plot thickens
[17:57] <Ghostgames> Makes sense.... :-)
[17:57] <VirtualBabe> OOOOooo the real "secret circle"
[17:57] <@Shiral> But when you're finished with ITKS, I'll have more questions for you....
[17:57] <bynw> its the Bynw and Tika cult of Deryni
[17:57] <Harvey> Like the layers of an onion, the Deryni conspiracy unfolds and unfolds to reveal the Illuminati at the core.
[17:57] <hygilac> sounds good to to me. ..
[17:57] <the_Bee> serves the CC right.  Keep them in their place
[17:57] <@Shiral> Definitely, why should THEY know everything???
[17:57] * kirienne can't wait to read the CM books
[17:57] <@Wrengl> indeed harvey
[17:57] <Sparkles> Could this inner circle have been founded in 948?
[17:57] <@KK> BRB, a cat is scratching at the door .
[17:57] <hygilac> me too, katherine
[17:57] <Ghostgames> You don't really think the Illuminati is the true secret conspiracy, do you, Harvey?!? That wouldn't be very secret!
[17:57] <Andi55> that's why I just leave the doors open....
[17:57] <Olympia> Hiding en plein vue, Ann
[17:57] * @Wrengl thinks she can wait, barely, it has been decades!
[17:58] <bynw> it's the Deryni Cats who are putting the CC in their place
[17:58] <hygilac> prepare yourself to be bombarded with questions
[17:58] * @Shiral wishes it was October
[17:58] <@Wrengl> you are most likely correct bynw
[17:58] <bynw> i would settle for July at the moment for GenCon :-)
[17:58] <Harvey> No.  Of course not.  Just a(nother) front.
[17:58] <@Shiral> Cats put EVERYONE in their place
[17:58] <Sparkles> No Shiral because then my summer would be over and I'd be back at school
[17:58] <@Shiral> Okay, sorry
[17:58] <Olympia> Not me, Shiral. I am impervious.
[17:58] <@Wrengl> indeed they do
[17:58] <RainTurtle> *has wild vision of Azim impersonating an alien*
[17:58] <Olympia> To cats, not to dogs.
[17:58] <@KK> Too cold to leave the office door open.  There are drafts.
[17:58] <@Wrengl> olympia thanks again for that website.
[17:58] <Andi55> ah
[17:59] <@Wrengl> it was MOST helpful!
[17:59] <the_Bee> which cat, KK?
[17:59] * B_Raven is going to head out of here now, nice to finally meet the famous KK. "bye"
[17:59] <Sparkles> Bye
[17:59] <Olympia> Sure, Pat! Happy to help!
[17:59] <kirienne> bye B Raven
[17:59] <VirtualBabe> Bye-eee raven
[17:59] <@KK> Nicholas wanted OUT.
[17:59] <the_Bee> bye raven

[17:59] <@Shiral> Night, Raven
[17:59] <hygilac> Bye Raven
[17:59] <Olympia> Bye Raven
[17:59] * B_Raven has left #Deryni_Destinations
[17:59] <bynw> cya Raven stop in again anytime
[17:59] <@KK> Night, Raven.
[17:59] <@Shiral> When Cats want out, they want OUT
[17:59] <Ghostgames> Likewise with IN.
[17:59] <@Shiral> Amen
[17:59] <@Wrengl> Katherine, Kathi made me polar fleece slacks and a top for working in the cold
[17:59] <@Shiral> <G>
[17:59] <Olympia> Oooo, Pat... comfeeeee
[17:59] <Andi55> sounds nice
[18:00] <the_Bee> or else they want you to hold the door open while they make up their mind
[18:00] <@Wrengl> more movement friendly than a robe and nice and warm for working
[18:00] <Olympia> I like fleece blankees
[18:00] <Sparkles> Warm is good
[18:00] <hygilac> sounds verra nice, Pat
[18:00] <@KK> Wrengl, what's your snail address?  I have an article I want to send to Kathi.
[18:00] <Olympia> It was 91 here in L.A. last Friday and my friend in New Hampshire was telling me about the snow!
[18:00] <@Wrengl> i will email it to you.
[18:00] <@KK> E-mail it to me?
[18:00] <Sparkles> 91?
[18:00] * Kendall has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[18:00] <Ghostgames> Last week, I was cleaning my shipping-materials-closet out, and went to get a big trash can for
some shipping peanuts I'd never use, and when I came back downstairs I discovered that our cat Shadow had climbed up the boxes that were left in the closet and started playing with the lightswitch....
[18:00] <Olympia> 91 Farenheit
[18:00] <Mistyck> wb Kendall
[18:00] <bynw> wb Kendall
[18:00] <Andi55> Last week it never got into double digits here in Michigan
[18:00] <Sparkles> That's too hot
[18:00] <@Shiral> Its getting chilly here in the bay area though
[18:00] <@Shiral> Hi Kendall
[18:00] <Olympia> MICHIGAN! I LOVE MICHIGAN
[18:00] <Sparkles> wb Kendall
[18:00] <Andi55> bit warmer this week
[18:01] <Ghostgames> The entire light fixture and ceiling panel came crashing down, and Shadow discovered THE MOST AMAZING THING EVER....
[18:01] <Ghostgames> There are SPACES above the ceiling!
[18:01] <bynw> Olympia, we can send you some snow when we get some more tomorrow :)
[18:01] <@Shiral> Too COOL
[18:01] <Sparkles> OH NO
[18:01] <Andi55> Olympia:  where are you?
[18:01] <kirienne> it was really warm here the other day, then cool and kinda winda yesterday and today
[18:01] <@KK> Ann, I am snickering.  I can see this coming....
[18:01] <Ghostgames> It took several minutes of shaking a Pounce can to get him to reemerge.
[18:01] <Olympia> Sure, Bynw
[18:01] <@KK> LOL
[18:01] <the_Bee> rotfl
[18:01] <Olympia> Where in Michigan?
[18:01] * Andi55 winces ;)
[18:01] <@Wrengl> address emailed, from Corgula
[18:01] <Andi55> Grand Rapids
[18:01] <@KK> Thanks.
[18:02] * Mistyck wishes she was anywhere there's snow
[18:02] <Olympia> I want to move to Ann Arbor - lived there for almost a year. Fell in love with the place.
[18:02] <Andi55> Tho I'm from Lansing
[18:02] <@Shiral> Ever tried yeast and garlic tablets, Ann? Isadora would CLIMB me to get to them
[18:02] <Barticus> hey I need to get going all, thanks for stopping by KK, y'all have a great and safe week
[18:02] <Olympia> My car is from Lansing. Bye, Bart!
[18:02] <@KK> Nighters, Bart.
[18:02] <VirtualBabe> nighters Bart
[18:02] <bynw> cya Bart
[18:02] <kirienne> bye Bart
[18:02] <RainTurtle> bye, BArt
[18:02] <Mistyck> nite Bart
[18:02] <Sparkles> Bye Barticus
[18:02] <@Shiral> Bye Bart
[18:02] * Barticus waves to all as he steps unto the crop circle and is gone
[18:02] <Andi55> Ann Arbor is nice..
[18:02] <Andi55> bye
[18:02] * the_Bee lived in Bay City MI 2=1/2 YEARS
[18:02] <hygilac> yeast and garlic?  you have weird cat!
[18:02] <Ghostgames> The light fixture's still hanging from the ceiling (haven't had time to do more than prop it up on the stacked boxes), and we're keeping the door closed until we can get it fixed. If either of our feral cats found it, we'd /never/ get them out. :-/
[18:02] <Ghostgames> Night, Bart!
[18:02] <@Shiral> Yes, but she LOVES those tablets
[18:02] <@Wrengl> bye bart
[18:02] * Barticus Quit (QUIT: Leaving)
[18:02] <Harvey> why did you live in Ann Arbor for a year?
[18:03] <Andi55> school?
[18:03] <@Shiral> And she can't be the only cat that does, as they're sold in large bottles at my pet emporium
[18:03] <Olympia> I went there for a job - Creative Director of a kids CD-ROM (Barbie as Rapunzel - the old one, not the new one)
[18:03] <Andi55> ohh
[18:03] <Olympia> The developer was in A2
[18:03] <@Wrengl> people use them for dogs 
[18:03] <@Shiral> Tell that to my cat, Pat <G>
[18:04] <Ghostgames> Shadow will climb anything to get to anything remotely edible, which can be a bit disastrous as he's been gaining weight steadily. (The other two cats tend toward being skinny, and the only way I can keep their weight up is to keep food in front of them all the time. Shadow does /not/ tend toward the skinny side. <sigh>)
[18:04] <@Shiral> I can always lure her indoors by shaking that bottle of tablets
[18:04] <VirtualBabe> so THAT'S the cause of doggie-breath
[18:04] <@Shiral> Shadow's an easy keeper
[18:04] <Ghostgames> gonna go start dinner....
[18:04] <@KK> Edgar comes to the rattle of the little Whiskas crunchy topping bits.
[18:04] <kirienne> ok, bye Ann
[18:04] <Sparkles> Bye Ann
[18:04] <Mistyck> bye Ann
[18:04] <@KK> Night, Ann.

[18:05] <hygilac> Charlotte comes to the sound of the fridge opening

[18:05] <the_Bee> goodnight ann
